I am looking to fire-down on my first TT for the family.

In the running:

• Kodiak Ultimate 29TBHS - ~6000lbs
• Keystone Cougar 29BHS - ~6700lbs

Any general thoughts on what to look for before taking ownership?

So that Cougar with a family using it could easily top out with a GVW of at least 8000+ lbs loaded & ready to camp, with as much as 1000 to 1200 lbs of gross tongue weight. You have a vehicle capable of handling this size of trailer while still transporting your family & all their additional cargo? :@

Yeah, I know - you didn't ask ... but then newbies unfortunately often don't. ;)

Haha! Yes. I struggled with this one. I had a post on a RV Facebook group to get some opinions. But I suppose I can get some here too.

I have a 2015 Yukon Denali with a max tow of 8100 and a max payload of 1500.

The Kodiac is my first choice simply due to the configuration and weight. The Cougar is pushing it.

Why not get a 2500HD? I would love to, but with two young boys, dogs and other **** my lifestyle cannot afford to drop to a crew cab. Maybe one day later in life I can have a truck again.
